IMMUNOLOGY
IMMUNOLOGY
Right as the name suggests, Immunology is a branch of biomedical science that encompasses the study of immune system in all living organisms. Immune system is a storehouse of molecules and cells that are evenly distributed in all tissues of a body. Well, that’s not it. These cells also occupy a place in the lymphoid organs in order to prevent the outbreak of microbial infections if any.
The study of immunology focuses on the physiological attributes of the immune system in an organism when healthy and even when afflicted with some kind of disease. Events of malfunctions and disorders in the immune system are also recorded. Hypersensitivity, transplant rejection, auto-immune diseases and deficiency of immunity are common examples of such malfunctions.
Like most branches of biological studies, the subject of Immunology is multidisciplinary as well. It is further subdivided into various segments for a better understanding of the concept of Immunology on a whole. These sub-branches include:
-Classical Immunology
-Clinical Immunology
-Developmental Immunology
-Therapies of Immunology
-Reproductive Immunology
-Cancer Immunology
-Diagnostic Immunology
